House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) (AP Photo)(CNSNews.com) House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D.-Md.) said today in his weekly press briefing that it is good that Americans are making money again because it means they can pay taxes.
Hoyer pointed to the fact that projected federal revenues have stopped declining and have stabilized as evidence that people must be making money in America.
We also had some good news for the first time in approximately two years, said Hoyer at his weekly press briefing. The projection of revenues has stabilized, not decreased. That is a very good sign because it is a sign that people are in fact making money and will be in a position, because theyre making money, to pay a portion of that in revenues to the federal government
